The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy on self-control in people with depressive symptoms referring to counseling centers. The present research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of type of research, it was a semi-experimental study with pre-test-post-test and control group. The statistical population studied in this study included all people with depressive symptoms referring to counseling centers in Qom in 1404. The subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to an experimental group of 10 and a control group of 10. Initially, both groups responded to the research questionnaire (pre-test stage) and then for the first experimental group, an intervention program was implemented during the period of implementation of therapeutic interventions, which included 8 weekly sessions (cognitive-behavioral training) in groups for 60 minutes. The data collection tool was the self-control questionnaire of Tanji et al. (2004). SPSS version 27 software was used to analyze the questionnaire data, and the analyses were presented in two sections: descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, etc.) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance test). Finally, it was concluded that cognitive-behavioral group therapy was effective on self-control in people with depressive symptoms referring to counseling centers.
